In this 2012 publication Ridley Wills tells the tales of the individuals and events that shaped Nashville and its surrounding communities such as Oak Hill and Belle Meade. In Nashville Streets and Their Stories, he divulges interesting facts about how presidents, politicians, businessmen, real estate developers, financiers, Civil War battles and Southern plantations combined to shape Nashville's unique history. Wills recounts local events ranging from the 1792 signing of a treaty between settlers and the Cherokee, Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes at Treaty Oak to the more recent 2010 renaming of McLemore Street to YMCA Way. He identifies some areas such as "little Hollywood," "Hell's Half Acre, "The Nations," and others that are linked by the streets of Nashville. Listing more than five hundred of Nashville's most prominent place names, organized alphabetically, and illustrated with rarely seen photographs and illustrations, Nashville Streets and Their Stories captures the spirit of Nashville's forward thinkers and progressive builders. --Excerpt from the cover of Nashville Streets and Their Stories

About the Book 
Miriam Conrad?s life could not have been more difficult?from childhood neglect and sexual abuse to extramarital affairs, domestic turmoil, and more. Readers looking for a storybook ending may be disappointed, but those entering the story with curiosity and courage will find one of the most painfully amazing and exhilarating stories of grace they have ever encountered. Even the most hopeless circumstances leave room for God?s redemption. 
Very few lives conclude with all the loose ends tied up. Miriam?s particular trauma is more pronounced than that of most, but the tension between brokenness and blessing will strike a familiar chord. At one point or another, we?ve all had to acknowledge that our lives are out of sync?damaged almost irreconcilably. Take heart. Even when the visible circumstances leave no hints of vindication, God is ever present, kind, and abundantly gracious. 
Evil doesn?t get the last word. As Miriam?s story demonstrates, by confronting the darkness we find just enough light to thrive.
